Chinese Ancient Hanfu vs. Another Fashion feature? Yes :3 But this time between China and Japan! This is a simple post (I am overwhelmed with papers and exams coming up so sadly less time to write long features). In this one, we will be comparing the Japanese Kimono versus the Chinese classic clothing of the Han Dynasty (with some Chu dynasty components). In this post, we will focus on the Han Dynasty clothing, hanfu, which starts approximately around the 206 BCE and ends at around 220 AD. Here is a fashion timeline of Chinese Clothing. The reason for this focus that is because I find this costume style veryy similar to the Japanese kimono. Of course, red hanfu the two also have distinct differences. To be frank, I don’t really watch any Japanese costume dramas or movies, but I do feel like the costumes shown are always very similar. I don’t think they had such a big scale of costume variety compared to China. Here are some kimonos from famous Japanese productions I watched. Yeah, didn’t find great pictures. However, if I only search kimono on google… Anyway, I am not an expert to judge the quality or the easthetic beauty of the two cultures, so I will let you, the reader, be the judge! Here are some pictures to compare these two styles.
